Board 8 > Epyon's Pathfinder Topic The Third!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last thread purged, so here's a new one just in time to celebrate a module disturbingly similar so far to The Wicker Man's remake.

Guys, I just realized Sunday is Mother's Day, I won't be available to play. If you guys can all otherwise play, just go on without me, I don't mind missing a session.

Ha, I found a character idea I'd like to play, but unfortunately, it can't not be overpowered. That's annoying.

Nope, completely unacceptable~!

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

I'm telling you, I don't mind missing a session.

And thus is anagram made into the virgin sacrifice or some such. Maybe.

I was hoping for something a little more specific.

Made a back-up character, but I'm not sure I'll use her.

I have a tentative character for CG's game, but I'm not sure if it's mechanically actually good.

Post it, then.

But dammit, now I'm torn. I like the original class I invented, cuz it's cool and awesome. But I also like the backup character I rolled up, because it's ALSO cool and awesome.

The original class is kinda a meld of Time Thief and the Sword Saint archetype of Samurai (which, before commenting on mounts, removes the Samurai's mount). It's basically a striker/mezzer combo dealy, with nerfs to make it not stupid. It's not a skill monkey, because, well, Time Thief isn't actually a skill monkey class in the first place. It's Strength/Cha focused, so the intent was using a Suli. Of course, it has yet to be approved by CG, which is why the backup character came to be in the first place, but that's not really the point here.

The backup character is a half-ogre Titan Mauler Barbarian. Who, among other things, starts with 22 strength. Which gets boosted to 26 via rage. Oh yeah, and it's a Titan Mauler. And I intend to use the Eldritch Heritage feat line to give it draconic bloodline abilities (character stuffs, and the reason it actually has a Cha score), which ends up giving it Dragon Breath. And that's awesome. Other than the Cha needed for the Eldritch heritage line (15, because the final feat can go screw itself, I'm getting my dragon wings from the Dragon Totem), it'll be Str/Con focused.

Help me decide, good other players~!

Your titan mauler sounds interesting enough - more functional than my character. I want to be an inquisitor dual wielding hand crossbows, but it just requires a huge number of feats for inaccurate 1d4 damage.

I think I might not go with this, it's just weak mechanically.

Well, my titan mauler depends on how crazy CG is; there's arguments that Titan Mauler's can't actually use Large weapons in the first place (I guess because it doesn't explicitly say 'you can use large weapons' in massive weapons?), but I think that they're pretty much full of ****, given that that's the entire point of Massive Weapons. The iconic Barbarian literally does just that, after all (she wields a giant's bastard sword). If she rejects it, though, I can always hop over to Invulnerable rager.

Anyway, what's your purpose (what do you want) out of that inquisitor?

To shoot things a lot with my hand crossbows. It's not the deepest concept ever, I admit, but I've come to believe it might be impossible to make work, at least before level 5 or 7.

I know you object to hijacking a concept, I guess, but wouldn't unseen servant be way better than hand crossbows with rapid reload and weapon cords? Particularly given your objection about low damage output? Maybe with a Synthesist Summoner so you can go happy with your mental stats as you please, and leave the dex to your Eidolon.

... or maybe a sythesist summoner with more than 2 limbs, so you can have the other limbs reload for you (not entirely clear how synthesists with multi-limbed eidolons work, to be honest). Or just a normal summoner and have your eidolon reload for you anyway. I'd say anything with a familiar to reload for you, but I'm not sure anything other than an Eidolon could actually manage reloading, given that most of them don't have opposable thumbs and such. Having a bat sit on your shoulder and reload your dual crossbows would be awesome, though.



Or just a ranger, if you want to be boring.

And now I'm just ranting. Iunno, I just find Inquisitors boring junk.

No, I specifically like the inquisitor as a concept, but thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure I'll have something by Friday.

Well, in the rather vague (and clearly not influenced by my personal dislike for Inquisitors, nope nope) quest for party balance, Imma point out we already have a divine caster. Arcane would be nice. What happened to the wizard or Sorcerer? Sorcerer's are awesome.

I'm considering either a bard or a bard/paladin, either way using bows. This sound workable?

To be honest, Bard's are Divine casters calling themselves Arcane. Though Paladin would be good, given that there's supposed to be lots of undead in this first campaign, I guess. What are you doing, Divine Hunter build? Don't know why Bard's there, though.

Longbows ARE way cooler than crossbows, though. No question about that.

Divine Hunter/Arcane Duelist. Arcane Duelist adds support via Inspire Courage and spells, while paladin handles the actual damage and healing.

Hmm. Assuming that your deal in the first post (bard/paladin) was also an idea at the order you'd take the classes, might I suggest you reverse them? Not only is Precise Shot good in close quarters with 3 melee attackers (like we've got, and we're going to be in), but, like I said, undead. Undead everywhere. Even if you don't get Channel Positive until level 4, you still get smite evil.

It would hardly matter, since you don't get channel energy until level 4, but I did mean paladin first anyway, yeah.
